My enduring passion for assisting and enlightening others has consistently guided my professional choices. I dedicated my academic pursuits to fields harmonising with this aspiration, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in English, Performing Arts, and Psychology, followed by a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. Presently, I fulfil the roles of an IB School Counselor, Special Educator, Yoga Instructor, and Entrepreneur, driven by a fervour to inspire, educate, and empower the young minds under my purview.

I welcome the focus on the individual learner that is a central feature of tutoring, and very much enjoy engaging in the lively dialogue and individualised feedback that enables tutees to grow in confidence as learners. I bring enthusiasm and energy to my tutoring. Thanks to my current work as a school counsellor, my approach to tutoring is also informed, where relevant, by a sound understanding of examination requirements.

Outside of my tutoring responsibilities, I engage in counselling sessions, teaching individuals yoga and mindfulness techniques. Additionally, I am actively involved in empowering women by utilising social media platforms to raise awareness about mental and menstrual health. As a trained classical dancer, I find joy in expressing myself through the art form. My leisure pursuits include a love for travel, embarking on long drives, immersing myself in nature, connecting with new individuals, and cherishing moments spent in the company of animals.
